Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup whole milk, warm

  • 1 egg
  • 2 oz apple pie filling
  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm milk, water, and yeast in a bowl; let sit until foamy (about 5 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. Form dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out chilled dough into a rectangle on floured surface.
  6. Spread apple pie filling down the center and sprinkle with cardamom.
  7. Fold dough over filling lengthwise and seal edges. Shape into an oval or horseshoe and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 22-25 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely before drizzling with glaze made from powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and water.
